Han Li was slightly taken aback. He saw the five-colored peacock lying in the pit, its claws pointing upward. Though its feathers were scattered and seemed to have been cut off in several places, it was clearly unharmed. Moments later, the peacock spoke in human words, chanting a series of profound incantations. The layers of five-colored light arrays that had previously spiraled around its body began to hum and gradually converged toward a single point in the lower air. Hundreds of small light arrays, spinning smoothly, coalesced into a massive five-colored light array with a diameter of several hundred zhang. Radiant, resonant mantras emanated from the great array, radiating an astonishing glow of five hues. Upon witnessing this, Han Li's eyes flashed with cold light. His transformed giant ape suddenly brought both massive hands together in front of him. A brilliant golden light flashed, and in an instant, the two golden great swords merged into a single one. After merging, the great sword was over thirty or forty paces long. As golden light shimmered, a faint azure dragon seemed to coil and soar within the blade, as if ready to surge skyward. Suddenly, a cold, clear word—“Cut!”—emerged from the giant ape’s lips. The sword swayed and descended with a decisive motion. In an instant, a misty blade of jade surged downward, flashing and expanding into a span of over a hundred paces, crashing hard upon the vast luminous array. A sharp “crack!”—the great array was torn asunder like delicate paper in the azure glow, yet after a roll, it swiftly restored itself, shimmering with hues of five colors. The initial strike seemed to have made no impact at all. A flicker of surprise passed through the giant ape’s eyes, but with a cold laugh, he tightened his grip on the sword and, without hesitation, launched a second strike. With his experience, Han Li naturally understood that the array was not truly invulnerable—only a few more blows would suffice to damage it effectively. However, as the second, more powerful streak of azure light departed from the great sword, the chanting suddenly ceased within the five-colored peacock's mouth below. Then, one of its claws seemed to gently press against a point in the void. At that moment, a sharp, pained roar erupted unexpectedly from another location. Han Li stiffened, turned his gaze, and glanced toward the source of the roar. There, the thunder-beast engaged in an intense struggle with the Buddha's golden form now bore a look of profound distress. As thunder roared across its body, vivid arcs of three colors surged forth, enveloping its entire form in a dense network of lightning. As it moved, it abruptly abandoned the golden form it had been fighting against, transforming into a swirling mass of three-colored lightning and rushing directly toward the massive light array. Though Han Li did not understand the meaning behind the beast's actions, he instinctively roared and drove a furry fist hard into the streak of lightning. At the same time, the Buddha-enchanted golden form controlled by the spirit-child roared once, transforming into a swirling sphere of golden light and swiftly pursuing with the speed of a galloping wind. The giant peacock, having transformed from the fish vendor, grew increasingly anxious upon seeing this, and emitted a sharp, piercing long howl, as though urgently urging the thunder beast to act. A piercing, high-pitched cry burst from the thunder beast’s mouth, and its back shimmered with intense lightning. Then, astonishingly, a remarkable scene unfolded. After three distinct sounds—“puff,” “thump,” “puff”—emitted from the beast’s back, three pairs of feathers of gold, silver, and blue suddenly appeared. As all six wings spread simultaneously, a thunderous roar rang out, and the creature vanished suddenly, wrapped in three-colored electric arcs. The subsequent beams of light radiating from the Buddha’s golden form began to fall into empty space, striking the void. Han Li witnessed this, his pupils constricting almost instinctively, and immediately turned his gaze downward to the massive luminous array beneath. A flash of dark light passed across his brow, and a strange, dark, upright eye appeared suddenly. As his gaze shifted, a column of black light shot forth, only to vanish instantly, reabsorbed into the void. A thunderous roar echoed above the colossal light array, and instantly, the six-winged thunder beast materialized in a flash of lightning. At the same moment, a thick black light column—wide as a serving bowl—burst forth from the void, so close that even the lightning-teleportation skill of the transformed beast proved utterly impossible to evade. As the column seemed poised to strike the beast squarely, the giant array suddenly emitted a resonant hum, its five-colored luminous radiance flaring brightly, causing the black column to pause and unexpectedly bend, grazing the beast's side just barely. Immediately thereafter, the thunder beast unfolded its wings and plunged headlong into the array. Han Li was momentarily stunned by this sequence of events. Though it appeared intricate, the entire sequence unfolded in nearly the span of a single breath! The five-colored peacock standing in the vast depression below witnessed all this and emitted a clear, joyful trill. Its five-hued spiritual light surged forth like a tide, rushing wildly into the immense luminous array. Even as it spread its wings, its entire body dissolved into a radiant glow and was absorbed within the array. At that moment, an even more massive five-colored light column erupted from the center of the light array, vanishing instantly into the mysterious upper air. Suddenly, a strong spatial ripple surged forth precisely where the light column had disappeared. Immediately, a silvery, translucent hole materialized suddenly above the center of the array! It began only the size of a fist, but in a flash, it expanded to several feet in diameter, and a remarkably pure surge of spiritual energy erupted forth from within. "Hmm, this is..." Feeling the exceptionally pure spiritual energy,韩立 sensed a subtle, almost familiar resonance—something he had encountered before. In a flash of thought, he recalled that this purity of energy bore a striking resemblance to that of the Guanghan Realm. Gazing at the hole, which continued to grow larger, he suddenly felt an uneasy sensation, as though something were amiss. Without hesitation, he raised his hand and swiftly swung his golden great sword. A sharp, continuous sound of rushing air filled the air. Countless golden sword-like beams, each as large as a palm, surged violently toward the silver aperture, as though desperately striving to destroy it. Yet, a matter that weighed heavily on Han Li's heart suddenly occurred! Despite the golden light slashing the silver hole with relentless intensity, the effect was merely fleeting—once the surrounding void slightly warped, the attack had no further impact. Moreover, a sudden thunderous roar erupted from within the hole, followed by a surge of silver light that shot straight out and instantly merged into the vast underlying light array below. The previously booming light array immediately brightened, with various runes flashing to life, and the entire structure rapidly expanding outward. After the silver beam halted abruptly and the silver aperture briefly flickered and vanished, the original massive array suddenly swelled to more than ten times its size. Radiant hues of five colors poured forth, filling the lower expanse with a wave of astonishment, as if one stood upon a magnificent, vibrant land of five colors—stunningly beautiful. At the same time, an odd sound of infants and women's wails emanated from the center of the light array, instantly sending a wave of dizziness and disorientation through those who heard it, as though they had been plunged into a state of magical affliction. Upon hearing this, Han Li's face grew pale. It was not merely the unusual sound that disturbed him, but at the very moment the wails began, a sudden, overwhelming sense of dread surged through him, as if he might be destined to fall and meet his end. "This is serious!" Han Li murmured under his breath, truly becoming serious. With a mere thought, his form of the six-armed, golden Buddha Saint flickered and vanished from his spot, only to reappear a moment later with a flash of golden light beside him. Then, without a word, the six arms of the saint moved simultaneously, each palm glowing with a swirling golden light that spun continuously. As the palms converged toward his chest, the six golden lights fused into a single, unified whirlpool of golden hue, the size of a human head. At the same time, the golden form's three heads and six eyes emitted distinct, shimmering radiance, with three completely different incantations overlapping and resonating from its mouth. A thunderous roar surged from the vortex, accompanied by a sound of Sanskrit chanting; in a flash, it expanded to several times its original size and, as it spun rapidly, subtle glimmers of starlight-like spiritual luminescence became visible within it. "Go!" the colossal ape beside it suddenly roared, spitting out human words. Upon hearing this, the golden form immediately hurled the golden vortex straight down into the lower light array. A powerful wind and thunder erupted; at the very moment it was released, the originally several-zhang-wide golden glow surged violently, expanding rapidly, and within moments grew to over ten zhang in size, still continuing to grow. When it finally made contact with the five-colored light array, the vortex had transformed into a vast expanse of golden sea, spanning a diameter of a hundred zhang. The invisible, immense force radiating from within the vortex even blurred and distorted the surrounding void into a shimmering haze. This was precisely the first time since Han Li had advanced to the mid-stage of consolidation that he had fully unleashed the Buddha-Saint Golden Body's swirling golden light, a power so potent that it even surpassed Han Li's own expectations. A deep, earth-shaking roar followed, and the golden vortex then powerfully struck the center of the vast luminous array!
